[DOTT] [PC] Audio stuttering/crackling.
Issue:
- The audio appears to stutter/crackle when you are in-game on PC.
The Fix:
We have included the ability to disable FMOD DSP via a command-line option [--DisableFMODDSP]. Note however that this option might not entirely fix the problem, but is more of a way to minimize CPU overhead while the game is running, which could cause audio stuttering.
To disable FMOD DSP in Steam:
- Make sure the Steam client has updated to a BuildID greater than or equal to 1032456
- Right-click on [Day of the Tentacle Remastered] in Steam Library, select [Properties]
- Click on the [Local Files] tab
- You should see the [Current content BuildID: XXXXXXX] (should be >= 1032456)
- Change the launch option to [--DisableFMODDSP]
- Right-click on [Day of the Tentacle Remastered] in Steam Library, select [Properties]
- Click on the [General tab] (should be default)
- Click on [Set Launch Options...]
- Add [--DisableFMODDSP] to the input box and click [OK]
- Run the game.
- The option to run [--DisableFMODDSP] is in v1.1.6 or greater.
- Construct a way to run the Dott.exe with the command line paramater [--DisableFMODDSP].
- You will most likely have to drop into a command line and run [C:\Dott.exe --DisableFMODDSP].
- Update the Realtek high definition drivers to 6.0.1.7730.
- Other users have found launching the game in Windows 8 compatibility mode from Windows 10 has also fixed their sound issue.
- Try lowering the sample rate of your sound card from anything higher than 44.1 khz to 44.1 khz
